He’s in his late 70’s… just let him ride it out in his cave.

Don't they know anything about dudes in caves in Israel? He'll just be back in like 3 days.

It's okay. Reddit's bad mistakes will take them away anyways
ForeverSquirrelled421 points39m ago
For now, though, I’m glad this comment is getting the attention. It’s funny af!

From what I’ve read over the years, Israel is really good at kicking people out of their homes. Maybe a little too good.

Yeah if his religion was different he would've been evicted decades ago

I guess they couldn’t get a bulldozer down there.

If you read the article, it says they're giving him time to prepare an appeal, but yeah, the whole situation sucks.
bikingfencer72 points1h ago
Yeah, we lived two blocks inland from him; what a pain in the ass he was all those years. I never actually saw him.
TheSpatulaOfLove37 points1h ago
What was he doing to be a pain in the ass?
bikingfencer107 points1h ago
living free and harmlessly
TheSpatulaOfLove37 points1h ago
Ah, I totally missed your sarcasm!
Thanks for replying.

You have a National treasure and you don't even see it. Some Countries honor their artists. Israel punishes them.

50 shekels says they want to demolish the area to appease the posh neighbors and/or develop a new posh development there.

Israel? ISRAEL is worried about illegal squatters?
Hypocrite, much?

Israel evicting anybody just feels cringe
tactical_laziness12 points2h ago
wonder who will move in
BIindsight1 points30m ago
This almost feels like the longest AP article I've ever read. I feel like they usually cap out at a couple of sentences, max.
PsychLegalMind16 points1h ago
Definition of a squatter. Israel has its own meaning of who a squatter is. It includes millions.
Edited for typo.

I'm sure a lot of people in the west bank can relate. The Irony.

This should be a spicy comment section
NeonsStyle1 points48m ago
Israel is doing the same thing to the settlers as the Nazi's did to the Jews. Forced relocation! The good people of Israel should be hanging their head in shame for electing Netanyahu and seeing the actions he's been taking. When you reach for the Strongman, you unleash death!

Id say the settlers are the last people who’d be a victim of bibi’s crimes against humanity

This has to be a troll

Israel Does not represent Judaism.
Xerit22 points1h ago
Actually, like it or not, being an ethenostate means they do represent Judaism, even if other Jewish people might wish it werent so. For the rest of the world who dont know any different Israel and Judaism are intrinsically linked which is why calling out Israels awful domestic policy gets you called an anti-semite.
Lily_Loud_Cat9 points1h ago
> Religion in Israel is manifested primarily in Judaism, the ethnic religion of the Jewish people. The State of Israel declares itself as a "Jewish and democratic state" and is the only country in the world with a Jewish-majority population
It’s also the only country in the middle east with a minority of native middle easten people.
Zarxon1 points46m ago
It is a shame, but they are synonymous.. I’m not a fan of the Israeli government and their racist genocidal policies. I also have no issues with Jewish people or their culture. I wish people would separate the two as well

Please reread the comment. Have a good day.
